I remember eating them as a kid growing up with my dad. I recently discovered his grandfather's home village in Italy, San Cipriano Picentino. Turns out they have an annual Sagra della Castagna, ie, Chestnut Festival.

You should try Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls.

Love roasted chestnuts, but at $7 to $8 per pound this yr, they'll be rotting in the bin.
